The New Remnant

Here Cords, you can take the sword back... If you get in trouble circle back to us. Elyse offers the golden sword to Cords pummel first.

Currently all going down. I know Cords is in the thoughts to avoid mortal combat as he would put it. But do need to go down to return the golden sword.

Blornvid will take the lead down the stairs.

Stee with bow in hand and arrow nocked with move with the group "Wreak on guard. Come."

Blornvid leads the team down the stairs, with the archers behind Blornvid and Aizashi. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, you can hear shuffling behind the closed door, but it is mostly muffled and you do not hear any cackling currently.

Blornvid looks to the others to see if they're ready to quiet the cackler for good.

Thumbs up from Elyse...

Stee gives a nod he is ready.

Aizashi nods agreement as well.

Oliver grins nervously and nods.

Blornvid opens the door with one hand, his axe in the other...

Blornvid opens the door to the same darkness they left. No noise, but the quiet sound of the door opening. As the group sets into the initial room again, you hear nothing at first, but then you start hearing the shuffling sounds again ...The group decides to wait in the room by the door so you have a potential escape route, but both Elyse and Oliver summon light, and Stee activates his so you can all have the best chance to see what is going on. After a couple tense minutes, the shuffling finally gets closer and you see figures emerging from both the path Stee went down, and the upper path that Oliver looked down. And what you see are ... orc zombies! Fortunately, these aren't "runners", but rather more traditional "shamblers". However, you see at least six (three at each opening) with the shuffling sounds implying there are more behind them.They are slow enough that you get to act first. How do you position yourselves and who is doing what?

Aizashi will move a little towards the zombies to give his ranged companions some room to move at try to keep the zombies at a bit of a distance. Well, they... Stink. Watch out!
